Chapter 44: The Dignity of Wan Gui Lao Zu

  ……

  That Ghostly Ancestor, obviously also a tyrannical and overbearing master. When facing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Ancestor, he didn't show any weakness at all, instead taking a step forward. The powerful aura of a Golden Elixir period Ancestor directly pressed down on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Ancestor, his eyes flashing with fierce and sinister light: "Ten Thousand Ghosts, my son is dead. Whoever dares to stop me from avenging him, I will kill whoever it is."

  "Who to kill? Kill me?" Facing Gui Ya's overwhelming killing intent, Wan Gui Lao Zu seemed not to care in the slightest, and instead leaned back with his hands behind him, sneering as he said, "If you really have the ability, then come try it."

  "Ten thousand ghosts, don't push people too far." The ghost's face twitched with some uncontrollable emotion. Although he was crazy, he also knew that Ten Thousand Ghosts, despite being much younger and less experienced, had a unique set of skills in battles at the same level. Especially his top-notch spirit ghost, which had been following him since childhood, hadn't appeared for a long time, and it was unknown what level of ghost general it had reached now. But judging from estimates, it shouldn't be lower than sixth-level ghost general, and it might have already reached seventh or eighth level.

  For Wan Gui, the ghostly creatures have a deep fear. It is also because of this that in many other caves he can go alone. However, for the Wan Gui Cave, he had to move out the elders of the sect.

  The atmosphere was getting more and more intense, and as a peacemaker, Butcher Zhang was invited to intervene. He chuckled and waved his sleeve to block the two: "Alright, alright, you're all fellow disciples of the same sect, why make things so tense? Gui Ya, I want to say a few words to you. Master Wan Gui is already giving you face by letting you investigate his disciple. Master Wan Gui, you should also be considerate of Gui Ya, after all, he's been through the pain of losing a child."

  Wan Gui sneered: "If it weren't for the sake of your dead son, I wouldn't have even looked at you today." After speaking, he took a step back and said in a gentle voice to Lei Dong and the other two: "You three don't be afraid, just answer a few questions honestly, and I believe you are absolutely innocent. If he dares to make an excessive move, I won't just sit idly by either."

  "Yes, Ancestor." The three Lei Dong responded in unison.

  That ghostly figure also let out a dissatisfied hum, not entering the main hall, and instead began interrogating right at the entrance of the hall. First, he looked towards Lei Dong, who had the lowest cultivation level, and slightly furrowed his brow: "Wan Gui, are you taking this low-level disciple out to impersonate a direct disciple?"

  "Hmph." He seemed extremely dissatisfied with this ghostly evil spirit, and even Wan Gui Lao Zu didn't bother to pay attention to him.

  The ghost's eyes stared straight at Lei Dong, starting to ask questions. They were all the usual ones, like what's your name and where are you from. Lei Dong was cautious with his words, but he showed a fearful and trembling appearance.

  "It was you who killed my son." Suddenly, the ghost's eyes burst out with a shocking fierce flame, and he shouted angrily: "You little boy, go to death!"

  The thunderous shock was extreme, and the fine pores all over his body suddenly contracted. His mind was dull and he almost lost the power to think. There was only one thought in his mind, that is, how did he know? However, even if the opponent was a Golden Core cultivator, he would not surrender under the circumstances of certain death. Even if he was extremely afraid in his heart, he still wanted to fight back before he died.

  "That's enough." Wan Gui Lao Zu took a step forward, then waved his hand at Lei Dong. With a cold face, he scolded the ghostly creature: "You used your demonic sound to capture the soul of a mere Qi Refining sixth layer junior, is that very interesting?"

  As Wan Gui Lao Zu shouted and waved, Lei Dong felt a shock in his heart, a chill blew over, and he shivered with cold sweat. At the same time, the previous frenzy and boiling blood disappeared without a trace.

  "Wan Gui, are you harboring a thief's guilty conscience or sincerely seeking to stir up trouble with me?" Ghost Slayer bellowed in shock and rage.

  Lei Dong also realized what had happened after a moment of stunned silence. For a moment, his back felt a chill, and the skin under his navel was wet and slippery. Just now, he had almost fallen into Gui Sha's trap due to a momentary lapse in attention. He thought to himself that this Jin Dan Old Ancestor was indeed not an easy opponent. It was truly a narrow escape; if he had been exposed on the spot, perhaps even Wan Gui Old Ancestor wouldn't have been able to save him.

  "Alright, alright." Butcher Long intervened again, advising: "Can't you all just calm down a bit? After checking the storage belt, let's move on to the next one. In my opinion, this little guy who has only reached the sixth layer of Qi Refining is unlikely to have killed your son. Young man, I believe you, but still, let's take out the storage belt and inspect it, just as a precaution."

  "Yes, Butcher Zhang." Lei's heart relaxed a little, and with a mixture of respect and fear on his face, he took out the storage waistband.

  The demon king didn't mince words, taking it over and wiping away the seal of Lei Dong's movement. After a sweep with his divine sense, he hummed softly: "Wan Gui, is this kid your illegitimate son? Several top-grade artifacts, tens of thousands of spirit stones."

  "Hey, Ghostly Evil, you think I'm just a pig like you?" Since he had already offended the ghostly evil being, Wan Gui Lao Zu didn't mind offending it some more.

  The ghost's face changed, and the storage waistband was thrown back to Leidong. He didn't want to provoke any more trouble, and again interrogated Zuo Chao and Ding Yuanyan in a routine manner.

  Zuo Chao and Ding Wanyan were innocent, they didn't kill anyone, so nothing would happen to them. However, for some reason, the ghost was extremely suspicious of Ding Wanyan, and after repeated questioning and investigation, he still wouldn't let her off. The reason was that Ding Wanyan happened to be in the Wan Gui Ku cave at the time of his son's death, traveling through it. Her cultivation level and extraordinary abilities were also enough for her to have had the opportunity to kill his son.

  Lei Dong was secretly pondering, probably because he saw that Ding Yuanyan had both strength and beauty. He should know his son's lecherous nature, guessing that it was because he had set his sights on a certain powerful female disciple, but ended up being killed instead of succeeding in his flirtation. It was also because of this that he was especially suspicious of Ding Yuanyan. Although he felt a bit guilty for implicating Ding Shifu, since Ding Shifu hadn't committed murder, nothing would really happen to her. Especially with Wan Gui Laozu in front, who doted on Ding Shifu.

  As expected, the ghostly apparition seemed to be getting more and more agitated towards Ding Yuanyan. Wan Gui was also truly enraged now, with a flick of his sleeve, a massive and unmatched power sent the ghostly apparition flying out several meters away. Almost simultaneously, a black-armored ghost servant appeared before him, its body as solid as substance, surrounded by an aura of faintly visible dark mist, exuding an aura of majesty and grandeur. Its eyes gleamed with a fierce and malevolent energy, staring fixedly at the ghostly apparition.

  "9th rank ghost general!" Just as the angry and embarrassed Ghost Slaughter was about to turn his face, he saw the ghost servant of Wan Gui Lao Zu and also cried out in surprise. It wasn't just him, even Tu Chang Lao's smiling face couldn't help but change color. A 9th rank ghost general was equivalent to a Jindan period 9th layer ordinary cultivator. Everyone knew that Wan Gui's 9th rank ghost general was an extremely talented spirit ghost with outstanding innate abilities and mastery of several powerful spells. Moreover, everyone also knew that Wan Gui had another high-quality spirit ghost-trained ghost general, which was only slightly inferior to this one but definitely not weak.

  "Guixiao, do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Wan Gui Lao Zu was also truly angry: "Don't think I don't know what's on your mind! Don't say my Yan'er didn't kill your son, even if she really did kill him because he was teasing her, it would be a good thing. Get out of here quickly, otherwise you'll stay in Wan Gui Cave forever."

  The ghost's face turned from white to green, wanting to turn his face, but seeing the nine-level ghost general made him feel a little apprehensive. He glanced at Butcher Lao again and saw that Butcher Lao was staring at the nine-level ghost general with an infatuated gaze. That was a top-quality spirit ghost refined by the Ghost King's sacrifice, and as long as it was carefully cultivated, it had a good chance of becoming a treasure that could enter the Ghost King level.

  Upon witnessing this scene, Gui Xie also knew that Tu Changlao was quite dissatisfied with him. To obtain his support and defeat Wan Gui would be a wild fantasy. But by himself, no matter how he calculated, he wasn't a match for Wan Gui. He could only steel his face, uttering a ruthless phrase: "Wan Gui, I'll remember you." As he spoke, he conjured up a thick, black mist that rolled and billowed, directly flying towards the sky.

  "How can you remember me? Are you unable to give birth to a son, and need me to help?" The Old Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Ghosts coldly laughed towards the sky.

  Poor Ghostly Ancestor almost fell from mid-air upon hearing this sentence.
